Blueberry Supply Update

Blueberry Supply Update

Wed, June 10th, 2026

Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Conventional Blueberries

  • Supply continues to be gapping
  • Last week we started to see the short falls of expected projections on CV as supply. This week they continued to fall faster than anticipated.  As of this morning less than 50% of the originally expected supply from CA and NC. 
  • We anticipate lower than anticipated supply will continue from  NC
  • Jersey likely will not start harvesting this week due to delays, increasing our original gapping expectations
  • At the same time CA has reflected some smaller than anticipated volume, their season will continue to wrap up and ultimately come to an end sooner than expected
  • Cmex will be done next week most likely.  There is EXTREME downside risk to the number this week and next
  • Oregon, is still on track to start with very minimal supply at the beginning of next week

Organic Blueberries

  • Heavy harvest in the Delta over the weekend, which helps us land in a favorable spot to start the week
  • Supply has started to represent a slow down the back half of the week.  Supply will tighten up next week
  • This week will be the last stronger week from CA in supply before slowing down heading into PNW
  • Fortunately, EWA is tracking earlier, which will make out trough less impactful next week
  • Supply drops Wednesday on from CA
  • Minimal fruit is coming in from Mexico at this point in time

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,
